Re: Makefile fix?

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

You are right, this would be better.  However, the same line
then would not work for Emacs, so we need something still
better.  Maybe something like

BATCH=$(EMACS) -batch -q
        -eval '(add-to-list 'load-path "$(lispdir)")'

but that is still difficult with all the quoting and escaping of
quoting.  Does anyone here know how to make this work?
